Horvat Danaila is an archaeological site in the Upper Galilee. The site is near the Nahal Sarach parking lot, inside the Jewish Child Forest complex. An asphalt road leads to the place from road 899 (the northern road), about 100 meters east of the settlement of Gornot HaGilil.

Five mills for the production of olive oil on which the settlement's economy was based were uncovered.

In the years 2000–2001, the existing foundation and the Antiquities Authority started a project to preserve and restore the cloth houses in the ruins. Walls, thresholds and canvas houses were restored, alleys were opened and a circular route was prepared for a tour of the ruins.

From the place there is a marked walking path in Nahal Sarach that reaches the Sarach Cave and Nahal Batsat. There is a memorial site for the martyrs of the Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council who fell in Israeli attacks.
